Dear Editor, Hooray! I'm always so happy to hear from progressives in a place like Texas. Here in New York City we always jokingly said it felt like a different country, but now it really does, and that feels very, very bad. I work in a settlement house situated in a low-income Bronx neighborhood, and I have never seen as many community folks discuss and participate in voting as during this past election! I agree with Mr. Ventura ["Letters @ 3am," Nov. 12]; let's keep it going, but with humor, optimism, and fearlessness.
